From a young age, Val was determined to be good mother whenever that time comes around. Her mother wasn't in the picture and her father was pathetic, in her own words.
She wanted to surpass them. And she has. Who would have guess that all it takes to be a good parent is: listening, caring, and loving your children.
It's the reason why she's overprotective and rather hostile when she doesn't like the vibe someone gives.
She would do anything for her kids, and she's made that very clear. She has told Lada to not even dare thinking that she would be the first choice when it comes to saving her or the kids. Which Lada completely understands, she feels the same way, but damn she didn't have to say like that.
